Heres a few shots of my new setup.
Boy was I impressed to see and hear this beauty. Having seen the gold/black color scheme on sierras in photos in the past, I really wasn't looking forward to settling on this one but man, In person it quickly changed my mind. Anybody have information as to what the year might be? And maybe even a model? The Guitar and Amp are practically in brand new condition. Needs a little lubrication. The volume pedal has a scratchy pot and is old/dirty...still works fine though.And heck for the price I couldn't pass it up. If you could please inform me as to what copedent this is? Ext e9?

| Why does that P4 setup seem to make so much sense to me. I've got a 12 and the 4th is set up as a Franklin currently, which I don't use frequently if at all. The fourth dropping those G#'s to G's to make a simple minor chords seems like a great idea! |

I'd call it Ext E9

I have some suggestions,
1 Move pedal 4 over to the left of pedal 1, so you can use the 2 of them together, just like the A and B pedals. This is what's sometimes called a zero pedal. You can just move that one pedal over, or move them all. (I just added the extra pedal on the extreme left on my guitars. It's a lot less work.)
2- add a vertical knee lever and put the F# to G change on it (both the 1st and 7th strings)
3 add a half stop on string 2, so you can hit the D note.
4- put the B to Bb change on a knee lever.

Thanks for the comments guys. A vertical is definitely in the works. Great ideas

Speaking personally, I fine that I use the G# to G change most often not so much to make the chord minor, but in conjunction with the A pedal to make it minor with an added 6th. This most happens on a 4 chord in a song, as in 1, 4, 4 minor, 4minor+6, 1.
2, a lot of guys put the B to Bb change on the vertical. In my opinion this is a mistake. In every other case, it really doesn't matter which change goes on what knee lever, but I firmly believe the vertical should raise the F# strings to G. This is the one exception to the "put the changes wherever they feel most comfortable" rule.
The B to Bb change has all sorts of hidden uses that you have to discover, and you never will if it's on a vertical. And, since you're rarely, if ever, raise the F# strings without also raising the G# strings, if the the change on a vertical, your leg has some leverage against the lever when you press down the B pedal.
